The Twilight Zone? Anyone?

Way to keep it classy. :/

I think this is actually a great shirt for the anniversary. It's a stark reminder of the power and danger of atomic bombs, and their intimate relation with war. Tells us there are some things we shouldn't mess with. Also, it's not really up to Woot which shirt prints and when, is it?

Wow. I'm shocked too. Thanks everyone for the support and the critiques, both positive and negative. I received a lot of good advice and I plan to utilize it in future entries (most of which aren't morbid or memorializing.) The feedback has been most helpful.

Unlike a Christmas tie, it works any time of year and makes a decidedly anti-war statement. I don't see how that's so offensive...unless you're one of those "let's bomb everybody" types. In that case, you'd love this, too.

I'll echo that it's nice to see a color other than asphalt, black, or blue, and yellow works here. I'm in for one, and out of ~40, I think it's my first yellow shirt.woot.
